As seen in: Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)Played by: Matthew Broderick and Alan Ruck Hangers on / third wheel: Sloane Peterson (Mia Sara)

Defining moment of friendship:

“If you’re not over here in 15 minutes, you can find yourself a new best friend.”“Ha, you’ve been saying that since the fifth grade.”

They may seem mis-matched, but this pair have more in common than it might appeared. Sure, Cameron may seem a snot-nosed hypochondriac with little to recommend him to the irrepressible Ferris, but when he's on form he provides the perfect accomplice to Ferris' schemes, his more dour personality both spurring on and reining in Ferris' wilder exploits. Ferris, for his part, drags Cameron out of himself in his own best interest - and on some level we think ol' Cam appreciates that.

They definitely should! Sam and Frodo, Merry and Pippin and Gimli and Legolas! They all have amazing friendships! And i know Frodo was under the influence of the ring but he was still a bit of a dick to Sam towards the end! I've never been able to forgive him for making Sam cry! That is unacceptable to me! But Merry and Pippin's friendship is definitely the sweetest! More

What about Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday. Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas in Gunfight at the O.K Corral, Kevin Costner and Dennis Quaid in Wyatt Earp, or (my personal favourite) Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer in Tombstone. More

SIDEWAYS

Great list but very sad not to see my favourite movie friends Miles and Jack from Sideways. They complete each-other perfectly and the fact they've been friends since young men is so gently and honestly conveyed. More

Thank you for recognizing that Ocean's 12 has great character work. To me, it more than overshadows the strange heist in the movie and yes, Julia Roberts as Tess as Julia Roberts. More

I know you've got Jay and Silent Bob, but surely Dante and Randal deserve inclusion too? Randal's speechifying in the jail at the end of Clerks II is one of the greatest bits of bromantic cinema ever. More
